We don’t usually post on Sundays, but “First on the Second” just doesn’t have quite the same ring as “First on the First”, so happy April 1st! No fooling here, sorry, and I do not look forward to the day someone shares the joy of April Fool’s Day with my innocent kids. Believe me, you […]
Nutella Cookies
I had a moment of self realization the other day. It came when I was preparing for out of town guests. When I was madly cleaning up in order to portray some semblance of order in my house, and I realize things. Things like, when all of my dishes are cleaned and put away, they […]
Saturday Sweets: Dark Chocolate Merlot Cookies
Dark chocolate and wine. Two of my favorite things ever. In a cookie. Another one of my favorite things ever. If only I could have incorporated cheese, this would have had my Top 4 favorite (edible) things all in one place! Three out of four is definite win, though. When I saw this idea from […]
Almond Joy Cookies
I am so glad to be back in the kitchen and actually able to photograph the food I’ve been making. My camera decided to go on a vacation on me, and I was worried it had left forever and forgotten to leave a note. Fortunately, my cousin just happened to be fiddling with it, and […]
Saturday Sweets: Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
Happy Saturday! It’s been a lazy week around here, as snow and more snow kept us pretty much housebound for most of the week. I ventured out once (with Carl at the wheel) to stock up on groceries – of all the times to be completely out of eggs and sugar! I am generally totally […]
Chocolate Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies
Are you all as bake exchange-crazy as me? I’ve controlled myself this year and am only involved in 3 different baking exchanges, one of which is the super fun Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which meant some delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies arrived in the mail from Kristy the other day with a lovely note! […]
Lemon White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I have one more pumpkin recipe I’m dying to tell you all about, but before you roll over and groan at the thought of MORE! PUMPKIN!, I’ll save it for another day. But be warned, it’s coming. After all, I’ve yet to find a good spot for a Smashing Pumpkins joke, and it’s dying to […]
Jumbo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m pulling into my bag of past tricks for today, folks. Those recipes I made who-knows-when-ago and saved for a day like this when I had excuses. Care to hear some? I made a pumpkin pie toffee cheesecake last night that smells and looks amazing, but it’s for a special brother-in-law/birthday boy and I don’t […]
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
We really love cookies around here. For example, you should probably make Milk Chocolate Chewies or Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies this afternoon. At the latest. I never get tired of trying new things when it comes to cookies. And I never get tired of eating cookies. And today happens to be my 27th birthday, […]
Pumpkin Gingersnaps
Do you know someone who seems to know exactly what you feel like eating, moments before you realize yourself what you might feel like eating? It used to be my mom. Sometimes it’s my husband. Sometimes it’s even myself, when I bake something or make a meal plan for the next day and the next […]
